How we do it
01
Consultation
Book a personal consultation – online or at our studio in Basel. We’ll take the time to understand your preferences, your style and your story. A visit to our studio is a wonderful experience – but it’s not a requirement. Your retina can also be scanned at a local partner’s premises, and your design journey can take place entirely via video call.
Design
Your personal RETINA® signature, designed entirely to your specifications, is transformed into a lifelike 3D rendering – a captivating first glimpse of the piece of jewellery that will soon belong exclusively to you, forever.

Manufacture
Your approved design is brought to life by our goldsmiths and gem-setters with precision, patience and dedication. Within a few weeks, you’ll be holding your unique creation in your hands – ready to give it as a gift from the heart.
Your personalised 3D visualisation
Even before production begins, your wedding rings come to life. Thanks to our detailed 3D visualisation, you can explore every element of your design – from refined surface textures and sparkling gemstones to engravings and delicate finishes. This allows you to perfect your rings exactly as you imagine them, before they are transformed into timeless masterpieces in precious metal.
Lifetime service & quality guarantee
We stand behind the quality and significance of every RETINA® creation and care for your piece of jewellery with the same dedication with which it was crafted.
As part of our lifetime promise, we offer free cleaning and refurbishment to ensure your piece remains as brilliant as it was on the day it was made.
Whether in gold or platinum, adorned with gemstones or in its purest form – your personal piece of jewellery deserves not only admiration, but also lasting care – for you and for everything it represents.

Your love, made visible
Your love is unique – and so should your rings be. Beauty alone is not enough – it is true meaning that makes them unforgettable.
Every RETINA® wedding ring bears more than just your names; it preserves the hidden signature of your eye, a natural pattern that no one else in the world possesses. When your retinal patterns unite, a visible symbol of the invisible bond between you is created – a promise as personal as your love itself.
With RETINA®, jewellery becomes more than an accessory. It becomes the story of your relationship, a timeless declaration of love, fashioned in precious metal. Each piece reflects who you are, what unites you and the journey you continue together.
There is only one. Which one will be yours?

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does RETINA® jewellery cost?
Our custom jewelry starts at CHF 2,000, depending on the alloy and size.
Many of our customers also invest between CHF 4,000 and 10,000 in their unique piece of jewelry—depending on their individual preferences.
A gold or platinum ring starts at around CHF 3,000 (subject to change due to fluctuations in the price of gold).
The exact price depends on various factors, which we’d be happy to explain in detail during a consultation. These include, above all, the weight (ring size, width, thickness), the chosen alloy, and additional options such as gemstone settings, special ring edge shapes, or an express service, if desired.
If you tell us your budget, we can provide you with the best possible advice based on that.
How many people can be commemorated on a piece of jewelry?
We don’t set a strict limit.
For couple’s rings, it’s usually one or two retinal patterns—but we’ve also incorporated the retinal patterns of two children or even immortalized the loving gaze of a faithful dog.
Of course, when it comes to a gift (rather than a couple’s ring), the person giving the gift can also be included—for example, a parent who has their own pattern incorporated alongside their child’s.
We’ve even incorporated up to eight retinal patterns on bracelets—two eyes from each of four family members—a shared story captured in a single piece of jewelry.
How does video consultation work?
Simply select a free appointment, and you’ll immediately receive a Zoom link that you can use to log in at the agreed-upon time.
We’re of course looking forward to seeing you—but you don’t have to turn on your camera. However, our camera will be on so you can see us and our screen.
During the initial consultation, we’ll discuss all the details and try to give you an initial price estimate. For an exact quote—especially for rings—we’ll need your ring sizes, though.
If you don’t know them, we’ll send you a free ring sizer kit.
If you don’t have a RetinaScan yet, we’ll help you schedule an appointment with a partner from our global network—the scan takes just a few minutes.
As soon as we receive these images from you, we’ll discuss the design in another Zoom meeting and work together to select which Retinas and which sections should be used for your piece of jewelry.
After you’ve received our quote and—if desired—a 3D visualization via video, we can address any remaining questions either in another video call or, for minor questions, via email.
We strive to keep all these conversations efficient so we don’t take up too much of your time, yet ensure you receive all the information you need to make such an important decision.
What are the payment terms?
If you would like a 3D visualization, we charge CHF 400 per piece of jewelry—this fee covers the cost of creating the 3D animation and will be credited in full toward the purchase price when you order the jewelry, so there are no additional costs.
A 50% deposit is due via bank transfer upon placing your order, with the balance due upon pickup.
For customers from abroad, we ask for payment in advance.
If you prefer individual terms, such as installment payments, please contact us.
Can the size be adjusted after purchase?
Yes—this is possible with our special technique.
The pattern, which has neither a beginning nor an end, is not altered by the addition or removal of material when resizing and therefore remains completely intact.
Only resizing rings with stone settings is somewhat more complex, as the stone setting usually shifts slightly when the size is changed and may need to be corrected.
However, this is always checked before our final quality control and adjusted if necessary.
